Dr. Melissa Ivers: Food Choices for Optimal Dental Well-being

Processed foods might pack convenience, but they often exist as hidden troves of sugars and harmful additives. Fresh produce is not only beneficial for overall health but also promotes healthier teeth.

 

Chewing fruits and vegetables stimulates saliva production, which neutralizes harmful acids and halts tooth decay. Regularly consuming nutrient-dense foods like nuts, seeds, legumes, and lean meats can provide essential minerals and vitamins needed for strong, healthy teeth.

 

 

Fortunately, changing dietary patterns for enhanced dental health is feasible with some calculated moves and willpower. Dr. Melissa Ivers will discuss some tangible strategies for transforming harmful eating habits into healthy ones for a happier, healthier smile.
